This
book stands out from the crowd in providing a fresh original perspective on the
relatively underexplored area of a leader's reputation. Reputation is a
consequence of everything you say or do and no other tangible or intangible
asset is worth as much as your reputation or has such a positive or detrimental
impact on your career. Many studies reveal
that we care more about what other people think about us than we do about what
may have actually happened in reality, and yet there is so little written about
the subject. This book gets to grips with how our reputation is formed in the
real world and what really makes the difference in winning a good reputation
and in losing a good reputation.



The
book uncovers the impact of the 'secret vocabulary' used in organizations to
shape reputations, and offers tips and advice about how to take control and
manage your reputation, and how to develop a personal brand to shape your
future career direction with integrity and authenticity.
